Fox News Poses The Tough Questions
Fox News Radio’s Tony Snow snagged an interview with Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld earlier this week. Here’s a sample of his hard-hitting questions:
SNOW: Could one make the argument that far from being a charnel house on the order of Auschwitz, that in fact Guantanamo Bay may be the most humane prisoner of war camp ever?
RUMSFELD: …That place is, as you suggest, a model detention facility.
Thanks for having the courage to ask the tough ones, Tony.

Tony can’t even get the spin right, since of course it’s not a “prisoner of war” facility.
June 23rd, 2005 at 11:25 amWhy does Jeff Gannon come to mind when I read about this?
June 23rd, 2005 at 11:32 amRumsfeld doesn’t even have to say, “You took the words out of my mouth…”
June 23rd, 2005 at 11:38 amYes, a model detention facility. The question is, modeled after what?
June 23rd, 2005 at 12:04 pmTony Snow’s ignorance is enough to cause an aneurysm.
June 23rd, 2005 at 12:05 pm… buy many sheeple lap this stuff up and try to ram it down “liberals” throats… ’tis a sad day … no need to read the book 1984, we’re living it!
June 23rd, 2005 at 12:55 pmMmmm, so if American prisoners (of war?) were held under those conditions it would be fine?
I bet you if you removed the reference to GITMO and described the conditions and the things that’ve taken place there, most Americans would be outraged.
unfortunately, too many Americans don’t pay attention to the details… They re-elected the people who have made America less safe, increasingly extremist, and en route to the Dark Ages.
June 23rd, 2005 at 1:17 pmcharnel threw those winger minds into overload. – they didn’t hear a word after that. Tony knows how to take care of bidness.
June 23rd, 2005 at 1:24 pmGuantanamo: The Model Detention Facility
An example of the exceptional “fair and balanced” brand of journalism practiced at the Faux News Channel.
June 23rd, 2005 at 4:06 pmSNOW: Could one make the argument that far from being a charnel house on the order of Auschwitz, that in fact Guantanamo Bay may be …
Maybe if the ‘model’ is a horror story / sci fi film about how america was taken over by fascist thugs with no sense of morality his statement would be true!
June 23rd, 2005 at 7:04 pmWhat does these clowns think a menu and glazed chicken have to do with torture. They make sick.
June 23rd, 2005 at 9:51 pmI hope they keep Guantanamo Open.
June 29th, 2005 at 10:27 pmWe could send the prisoners home and use it for the members of this administration who were complicit in this sham of a war.
Let’s not forget those appendicular agencies FBI, CIA, Blair, Other nationals from various countries
These are the world’s most organized and therefore dangerous terrorists on the face of this planet.
Edit: skip the “on the face of this planet”
June 29th, 2005 at 10:29 pmWhat we need is the BBC’s Jeremy Paxman to interview Rumsfeld — Rummie would not know what had hit him and the fallout would be hilarious…
July 6th, 2005 at 3:40 pmI hear that the Quorans the prisoners get are paper-back and one prisoner got a pretty bad paper cut. And they can’t get a decent fabric softener for their prayer rugs either. Stalin would be appalled by such treatment!
